- John Kerry is now the newest "poster boy" of failed and shamed liberal politicians, along with the likes of Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Al Gore.
Way to go, Mr. Nuance. - Reply to this comment
- It would seem that Bush and the Republicans have so little to run on from the past two years that the only thing they can do is to run against someone they've already defeated.
Is the new strategy in Iraq now going to be to go after Uday and Quasay again?
Mr. Kerry does not owe any soldier an apology for a missed delivered one liner in election season. Mr. Bush owes them (and their families) plenty for the countless reckless decisions that have landed our fighting men and women in the quagmire they're in in the first place.
The media might offer one as well for wasting time and discussion on this absurd purely politicaly manufactured non issue to begin with. - Reply to this comment

- Yes, Kerry slipped up. Yes, if he intended to make a joke against the White House perhaps he should have practiced a bit more so he didn't miss the "US" and drop something that the White House could twist.
But I really pray by now the American people are aware that this White House omits facts, twists the truth and does everything possible to scare and confuse the public into voting for their party.
I would like to think voters can see through this and ignore Bush's comments. Kerry made a slip of the tongue, Bush knows what Kerry meant and is playing games to keep Iraq and REAL issues out of the news. Shame on the media too for playing into Bush's trick. REPORT IT. BE DONE WITH IT. OVE ON. GET BACK TO REPORTING REAL NEWS. - Reply to this comment
- Admittedly, it was not a well thought out comment. I NEVER hear the Republicans or their supporters EVER admitting being wrong or apologizing for ANYTHING they do or say. All you have to do is go to the bookstore to find hundreds of books documenting the trivial, inane, frivolous, thoughtless, trite, conceited and mean verbal blunders George W. Bush has spouted in the last 6 years, not to mention a host of congressional Republicans and their loud mouthed, hate mongering news reporters on FOX.
I think the American people are smart enough to see thru the desperate thin veil of anxious fear that the Republicans have about loosing power due to their OWN blunders, foibles and outright lies. The reason why they are so keen to jump on Kerry is because there are a couple of million potential votes from military personnel in this election. I don't think for a minute that military personnel are stupid enough to believe Kerry thinks they are stupid. - Reply to this comment
- Too much attention to this gaffe.
The real travesty is being ignored. Sending our troops into combat without even adequate body armor, underarmored vehicles, excessively long and repeated tours of duty - on top of the lies that got them in there in the first place - THAT, using the words of Pres. Bush, is 'insulting and shameful'.
For the media to seize upon the GOP spin so blindly, I am convinced there is no longer any integrity in the press.
US journalists are sheep and Karl Rove is the shepherd. Cover the real story for once. - Reply to this comment
- I say let Kerry go over and say that *** to the troups.
He's over here with his freedom of speech, defended by the troups that he's belittled.
He's nothing but a liar and basically your no-good politician.
Enough said? - Reply to this comment
- John Kerry has done more to hurt his own political ambitions than any Republican opponent or conservative media pundit ever could.
Whether the MSM covers his idiocy now or not, he will eventually do something equally stupid in the future to again make the headlines. He just can't help himself. He is the one who is the dim bulb! - Reply to this comment
- If you're Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, or Anne Coulter you should talk about the Kerry gaffe non-stop for the next two months because your listeners will expect nothing less.
But if you are responsible journalists, you'll move on to people and issues that are relevant to most Americans instead of focusing on a failed presidental contender and a failed presidency. - Reply to this comment
